Performance Fundamentals in the Age of Cloud Computing – What to look for and how to measure it? (Bernhard Lubomski, RETIT)

This talk is dealing with the most fundamental questions you need to ask yourself when you want to evaluate the performance of your software system. It doesn’t matter if you are working on a mobile app, a website, a service or some background logic. We will cover metrics and tools that can help you to analyze the software performance of your system accross the whole application lifecycle. We will focus especially on the challenges that arise by the fact that you don’t run your applications yourself anymore in the age of cloud computing.

Observability: the essential components (Achim Staebler, Signal FX)

Failures in complex systems are inevitable and cloud-native systems are getting more and more complex. If we want to be better prepared for the unknown then observability is a desired property of such a system and we should strive to build them as observable as possible.

In this talk we will learn about the basics of observability, the elements that make it work and the value you can derive for your systems and organizations.
